Most of you guys would agree, Pop music sucks.

Rather than sitting back in you computer chair complaining about how bad that new _______ song is, why don't you do something about it? Get off Hype Machine, minimize µTorrent and fire your resume Universal's way.

The juggernaut that is Universal music are looking for a new A&R person to nurture through the ranks and you should be excited even though you don't have a clue what A&R even means. It stands for "Artist & Repertoire" or in layman's terms A&R peeps have their ear to the street listening out for "the next big thing." So if getting paid to listen to music (you can do that?) sounds like your ideal job hit up V Raw and make your friends cry themselves to sleep at night for having to flip burgers for coin.
